In this episode of The Critical Hour with Dr. Wilmer Leon, Democrats are trying to sink the nomination by arguing the 53-year-old conservative justice will strike down health insurance protections in the Affordable Care Act, overturn Roe v. Wade, give too much deference to executive power and continually side with corporate interests against the interests of the average American.
Also, The federal government has quietly revived its investigation into the murder of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old African-American boy whose abduction and killing remains, almost 63 years later, among the starkest and most searing examples of racial violence in the South.
Lastly, At a news conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May in Britain on Friday, Trump claimed that a newspaper interview that quoted him criticizing May's Brexit and trade strategies was "fake news." "I didn't criticize the prime minister," he said. He went on to suggest a recording would vindicate him.
PEOPLE…the recording exists and we'll play it.
IT'S FRIDAY!
